Bob I had one guy come in wanting to know if he mounted 10x scopes back to back on top of his rifle would he get 100x magnification?

Had another that had a "Big 50" sharps that shot " absolutely flat" for a mile...
Another with a .280 that shot normal out to 200 yards, then it flattened out the whole way to 600 yards...
And yet another that had a Ruger #1 in a " .300H&H Weatherby Magnum Improved" which he used to kill coyotes at 900 yards.
And all the while I could never get a gun to defy the laws of physics......

In your 44 mag? 300 grains. Wheat? Rye?

You can't make this stuff up. How about wanting two scopes on their rifle? One for close shots and one for long range! Yup!

My step-father pronounces it "Sworski." I've corrected him dozens of times but he just keeps on. Drives me insane.

You can't make this stuff up. Never thought of it, sounds like an interesting experiment. Sounds like something the government would spend a few billion on if the congress critter had a child working for Redfield.

There was a guest (sure as hell not my guest) at our deer lease one year who said he was shooting a 300 RUM AI. He was claiming some astronomical velocity. I asked to see a piece of fired brass. He didn't have any. I asked what the handload specs were, he said he wasn't loading yet. I asked where all the velocity was coming from. He said something like when the powder starts burning it blows the case out to the vastly superior AI shape. Then the remaining powder burns so much better it gives the bullet that extra zing.

Had a FIL ( now-ex) who insisted on referring to Midway as Midland, and Cabelas as Gabriels.... I was always afraid he would bump his head and lose that one IQ point that separated him from the carrots and peas....
